Two keys: GENERAL ELECTRIC CO and 2008
Drop either key and the number changes. Drop 2008 and the General Electric Co hub shows $13,679,946. Drop General Electric Co and the 2008 hub shows every other stored employer for that window — a total this packet does not publish. Keep both keys and the extract returns $668,782 on 579 lines from 178 donors. Cite FEC.gov for the intersection; do not treat either hub as a substitute for the join.
Filers who wrote GE or a subsidiary name are other keys. This join is the stored employer GENERAL ELECTRIC CO in the 2008 window. Exact string matching is the method. GE, GENERAL ELECTRIC, GE COMPANY, and named GE subsidiaries are not rolled into $668,782. LobbyVault does not recode filer text into NAICS. Cite FEC.gov.
Section 1 states the relationship. Later sections unpack the lifetime grouping, the receipt arithmetic, the two-year window, and the caveats. The overlay General Electric Co 2008 is the row view of this cell.
Lifetime General Electric Co dollars versus the 2008 slice
$13,679,946 minus $668,782 leaves $13,011,164 in other cycles, or 95.1% of the stored book. 4.9% is the 2008 share. A share is a quotient, not a trend claim. This packet has no prior-cycle dollar for comparison, so no percent change is stated. Other even-year amounts are not invented here.
$13,679,946 is not revenue, not assets, and not a political budget. It is the sum of itemized individual contributions that grouped to GENERAL ELECTRIC CO in this table. The General Electric Co hub is the place to see other years. This tie exists so 2008 is not swallowed by that lifetime figure.
